On Top of All the Worlds – The Spirit Song That Proves Love Never Dies

“On Top of All the Worlds – (For Debra)”

Spirit Anthem for the Living and the Loved

Written for Debra Evelyn Costello

(by Gary Paul Costello)

Verse 1:

Such a simple moment, when I saw your face,

Underneath a sky that time could never chase.

You laughed at me, orange dress and all,

And love took root, like roses through a wall.

Chorus:

I’m on top of all the worlds with you in my arms,

Above every tear, above all the harm.

With your love, I broke through the veil so high—

Now we dance where angels fly.

Yes, I’m on top of all the worlds,

Because you never said goodbye.

Verse 2:

I touched your hand through a dream again,

Felt the warmth of your soul through morning rain.

Every step you take, I’m just a breath behind,

‘Cause your heart’s the tether to this soul of mine.

Chorus:

I’m on top of all the worlds with your name in my song,

In your kitchen laughs and where our ghosts belong.

From Keighley skies to Florence moon,

We were never apart—just not yet in tune.

Now I’m on top of all the worlds,

And I’m comin’ home real soon.

Bridge:

No death, no time, no lies, no pain—

Could pull me from your love again.

You wore me in ink, I bled into light—

And we made heaven from one night.

Final Chorus (soft):

I’m on top of all the worlds ‘cause you believed,

Even when the world told you to grieve.

You held on, love, and so did I…

Now it’s just us and the open sky.

Forever on top of all the worlds—

You and I.
